The divisional round of the playoffs is here and we’re on to the second day! The first game on today’s lineup features the 2nd and 5th seeds from the AFC. The Houston Texans are visiting the New England Patriots in the second AFC game of the weekend. The Patriots have been impressive against a weak schedule, and they had no problem handling the Chargers in the wild card round. The Texans defense has been fun to watch, but can they stop MVP-candidate Drake Maye?

Preseason Writing on the Wall for Allegretti

The Commanders made what were relatively seismic moves on the offensive line in the offseason.

At left offensive tackle, the Commanders made a trade for 4-time Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil to block for Daniels’ blind side. In the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, Washington selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. at No. 29 overall.

Even with those 2 moves, another under-the-radar move might be just as important — when Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced Coleman was being moved inside to left guard....

The divisional round of the playoffs is here and there were two games on today’s schedule. Tonight’s the third matchup between two NFC West rivals. The San Francisco 49ers are going to Seattle to play the Seahawks, and will be looking for a big win after losing the #1 seed, and division title, in their Week 18 battle. Brock Purdy is leading a team that has dealt with a crazy amount of injuries this season. The Seahawks are the biggest favorites this weekend, can they dominate their 49ers again?

The divisional round of the playoffs is here and we’ve got two games today. The AFC kicks off a great weekend of football with the Buffalo Bills visiting the Denver Broncos. The Bills defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 27-24 thriller last week to earn their ticket to the next round. The Broncos had the best record in the AFC, and will come into today’s game well rested after their first-round bye. Josh Allen took a beating last week, but he’s on a quest for his first Super Bowl ring. Can second-year QB and the Broncos defense kill those dreams...

Commanders 2025 position review | Tight ends

What [is] the future of the tight end room? Ertz tore his ACL against the Vikings, and with the injury happening near the end of the season, the likelihood of him being ready in September is low. Ertz is also about to be a free agent, leaving a hole at the top of the position for someone to fill. The Commanders aren’t ruling out either Bates, Yankoff or Sinnott stepping up to fill that role, but...

A 35-page document that has been submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission for review.

The full document is available for review by clicking HERE.

The document does not answer every question about the stadium — it primarily addresses how the stadium fits into the surrounding area and complies with legal requirements.

You won’t find seating area design, discussion of the food service or what type of field surface is planned.

This is still a broad-brush document, but even with its limited scope, it is interesting and provides a lot of good information.

Here are just a few excerpts and...

With the Commanders having just fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson, mutually parted ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, promoted David Blough from assistant QB coach to offensive coordinator to replace Kliff, and begun the process of filling the open position-coaching spots, we thought it would be a good time to survey your level of confidence in the team’s general manager and head coach.

While this coaching upheaval seems to mark the transition from DQ 1.0 to DQ 1.1, Quinn and Peters have been so strong and consistent in their messaging about collaboration in all...

Danny Etling hired as assistant QB coach

The Washington Commanders have hired their third new coach on offense, adding former NFL QB Danny Etling as assistant QB coach. He will work under new offensive coordinator David Blough and QB coach D.J. Williams. Blough was given the promotion from assistant QB to OC after Kliff Kingsbury’s departure earlier this month. Etling never played in a regular season NFL game, and spent the last two seasons in the UFL with the Michigan Panthers. This will be his first coaching job after retiring from playing football. Etling and Blough were teammates in...

The Commanders’ new stadium could evoke memories of RFK

The first conceptual renderings of the new stadium, unveiled Thursday morning, showed a sweeping roof, a grand colonnade and plenty of callbacks to RFK Stadium.

A sweeping, translucent roof. Main entryways on the same axis as the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. A grand colonnade.

Those are among the most striking features in the conceptual renderings of the Washington Commanders’ new stadium released Thursday morning, the first glimpses of the structure that will be erected on the former RFK Stadium site....

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Johnny Newton is entering a critical offseason of his rookie contract. Newton had a relatively quiet second season before his stat-stuffing performance against the Dallas Cowboys, when he compiled three sacks, five quarterback hits, two TFLs, and nine tackles. Not to suggest he didn’t have his “moments,” but the former 2024 second-round pick had not truly put his stamp on the games he played in yet. Newton saw 38 percent of defensive snaps in 2025, which is a 13 percent decrease from his rookie season. Granted, in 2024, former Commanders’ defensive tackle Jonathan Allen’s injury impacted...
